It's real.

Shame it doesn't come in Winnebago format. I always wanted to take Spaceballs to the next level.

The problem with a flying car is the energy usage, that and licensing. I have seen a couple of prototypes over the years.

I'll stock up on carrots and bananas and work out the proper blend. Service is our specialty.

Yeah, licensing and energy are crazy huge problems. Also, if you run out of gas, you DIE!!!

I don't want a DUI crashing into my roof on Friday nights.

Bad idea.

Fuck, I never thought of that! So much for this being a cool idea.

Yea I don't see anything reasonable about attempting to fly something that looks like a wrecked plane. Although I can't wait till they start making giant pimped out rims for these things.

Likewise. If these things ever take hold at all, they should be restricted to emergency vehicles only.

Can you imagine the airborn chaos that would ensue if there were a lot of these around?

On the plus side think about all the extra space for neon lights and tribal stickers the wings will provide.

Although this would be the death knell for the Yosimite Sam mud flap.

If there are wings on your "flying car" then what you have yourself there is called a "plane".

That's exactly what I was going to say. Isn't this just a very small airplane? Where is the line drawn?

So we've got one of the big advances Back to the Future 2 promised us. Now we've got six years to get the one we all want.

Eh, wouldn't be so bad. We'd have traffic patterns like they have in the skies of Coruscant.

I just want my flying car to be like the ones SHIELD has:



Rotating tires, yo!

To be fair, the guys who made it call it an airplane with wings that fold up so it can be driven around... I think only Diva called it a flying car.

All that's left is the "Union Jack is my Co-pilot!" Bumpersticker, and you're set!
